*** IMPORTANT ***

This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable
|
|
|
|
|
version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This
|
|
|
|
|
version is meant for developers of GLib only:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You should not base stable software on this version of GLib.
|
|
|
|
|
* GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Distributions should *NOT* ship a development package of this GLib.
|
|
|
|
|
Do not ship the headers and do not ship the glib-config script. These
|
|
|
|
|
things will conflict with the stable 1.2 series. Package only enough
|
|
|
|
|
to satisfy the requirements of some other package. Package only the
|
|
|
|
|
library itself. Doing otherwise will do no favors to the community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you install this version of GLib, we strongly recommend that you
|
|
|
|
|
install it in a different prefix than GLib 1.2. Use --prefix as an
|
|
|
|
|
argument to configure to do this. Otherwise, you will not be able to
|
|
|
|
|
do development with GLib 1.2 any longer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. ***

How to report bugs
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned
|
|
|
|
|
above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you
|
|
|
|
|
must be subscribed yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the mail include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The version of GLib
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Information about your system. For instance:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- What operating system and version
|
|
|
|
|
- What version of X
|
|
|
|
|
- For Linux, what version of the C library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And anything else you think is relevant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* How to reproduce the bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built
|
|
|
|
|
in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
|
|
|
|
|
of software that can be downloaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
|
|
|
|
|
when the crash occured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
|
|
|
|
|
is not necessary.
